Getting to grips with your nutrition

It can often be confusing as to what the right way is to sorting out a balanced nutrition plan. You might want to lose body fat, change your body composition as a whole or just generally have better food choices. There are hundreds of quick fix ideas, " drop a dress size in 14 days etc" and yes they will probably work for a short period of time but long term given the aggressive nature of the nutrition and workout plans 99% of the time you simply wont sustain it.

Here's a few tips and a few recipes for high protein meal ideas.

Get to grips with Macros(macronutrients) Fats, proteins and carbs, make protein your priority and aim for a good source of lean protein with each meal. If you work on an 80/20 theory so 80% good nutrient dense food with 20% of your favourite things, cakes, vino, takeaway etc then you're not denying yourself anything its just included in your week.

You're body needs to be in a calorie deficit to lose body fat, it doesn't matter how you do it, slimming world, portion control its all the same things just dressed up different ways.

If you calorie count, take your calorie amount each day and multiply by 7 to give you a weekly amount, some days you may be over some days you may be under but as long as you stick to that amount you'll be fine. Remember this isn't a one size fits all, each person requires different calories( i can work that out for you just give me a shout) This doesn't mean you'll be counting calories forever, once you get into it you learn pretty quickly whats in what and for most we eat similar foods each week.

Please shout if i can help at all!!
